THE “SON” DID NOT RISE IN HIMACHAL, SETS IN GUJARAT2017 ELECTIONS.

The Battle Of Ballots

In the very tricky political chessboard of India, the dynastic game of Congress, this time appears to have kissed the dust. The reason? The reason is the “Son” could not rise in Himachal Pradesh despite the fact that it was ruled by the Congress. The “Son” also failed to cash upon the anti-incumbency factor in Gujarat to justify his elevation as Congress super-boss.

In Indian politics, everyone takes it for granted that the “Sons” of political families would rise. Some rose, but mostly they set like the sun. Much hope was pinned on “Son” Rahul Gandhi by the supporters of Congress who expected him to rise like the Sun. But he failed. The Congress is now ruling only in four states: Karnataka, Meghalaya, Punjab and Mizoram.

Failure of the “Son” is on two counts: Firstly, he flopped to retain Himachal and secondly, he fumbled to foment the anti-incumbency factor in Gujarat, although he had tremendous political scopes to reap the benefits from anti-incumbency in Gujarat and retention of Himachal (being a ruling party).

During his electioneering in hilly Himachal, Rahul tried to defame Prime Minister Narendra Modi and BJP with Himalayan efforts, but failed miserably to make an impact on the electorate. Failure of his political maneuvers can be gauged from the fact that he flopped miserably to retain the rule of Congress in Himachal. At the same time, the number of seats won also plummeted drastically as compared to the last polls. The Congress could bag only 21 seats in Himachal while BJP secured 44 seats in the 68-seat legislative assembly.

RECALLING - THE MAN OF GREAT VIRTUES P.A.SANGMA

As September approaches there begins a change in Delhi, morning becomes cooler, midday sun a bit friendly, humidity too pretends to be packing off and a sense of an all-pervasive thermal comfortability becomes visible outdoors. I still remember P A Sangma was born on 1st September 1947and the remembrance takes me to look back and a montages of memories come crowding in: some events are still clear while some got blurred, perhaps the inner flash is partly diffused.
